MS6 Brakes on MP3

[avarela86]

Just want to inform those of you that HAVEN"T done this that it has been BY FAR the BEST mod I have done. I ran Willwood brakes with a 13" rotor and the MS6 brakes feel ten times better IMO than the last setup I had. The parts are cheap and is a direct bolt on (total spent around $800), you can even run stock rims. I run OEM pads and drilled Stoptech rotors from Tri-Point and the car stops on a dime. I love em sometimes more than the turbo. It really outperforms the OEM stuff 300%. So if you are running high boost and feel like you need more brake, stick to a simple and inexpensive option over the high end name brand stuff. MS6 brakes FTW.

Wow, I didn't know that they would fit on there. That's cool. Get some pics of clearance too if you don't mind. Great job!

[JDM Sam]

I definitely recommend them and Sam has them for a great price! (2thumbs)

I think this is an understatement considering how useful they are. What good is a car that flys if you can't stop it?! Truly a bang for your buck guys!

Did this a while back to compare... Enjoy. One is of the Willwood setup I ran for a while and the other is of the MS6 without pads.

Are the MS6 front calipers 2-pot or are they large single-pot calipers?

Also Sam, Im guessing that the kit on *************.com is a complete bolt on kit - comes with brackets, OEM Protege brake lines hook straight up, rotors provide the correct offset etc?

Can the kit be sold without the rotors and pads? Im overseas and it would be good to get the kit if I didnt have to have all the rotors and pads included as Im fairly sure that I can get them here.

Cheers.

didn't you guys get the mazda6 mps down under? it's the same thing!

 

[justanothermp5]

Single Pot, direct bolt on, protege lines hook right up. I rec running stainless steel braided lines.

Calipers only added. There is no 4 piece kit. The MSP's rear at 11 inch are adequate.

This brake upgrade is the best you can get for the price. It stops on a dime.

avarela - did you ever weighted them to compare with stockers ? just wondering

 

[jonridinhi]

Dang and i just did my brakes. Lets just hope they wear out soon. LOL.

Weight is not an option to sacrifice when needing more brake so I never bothered to weigh them.
